CLC TACTICS EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
WELL TACKLED AND VERIFIED. GRADED A++
Fundamentals of Reconnaissance
Develop the situation rapidly
Orient on the reconnaissance OBJ
Don't leave reconnaissance assets in reserve
Gain and maintain enemy contact
Ensure continuous reconnaissance
Report information rapidly and accurately
Retain freedom of maneuver
Purpose of R&S Operations
Enable the commander to make timely decision to achieve a position of relative
advantage over the enemy, through CCIR (by LTIOV)
Reconnaissance
A mission undertaken to obtain, by visual observation or other detection methods,
information about the activities and resources of an enemy, or to secure data
concerning the meteorological, hydrographic, or geographic characteristics of a
particular area (active)
Surveillance
The systematic observation of aerospace, surface, or subsurface areas, places,
persons, or things, by visual, aural, electronic, photographic, or other means (passive)
Forms of Reconnaissance
Zone
Area
, Route
Reconnaissance in Force
Special
Zone Recon
Directed effort to obtain detailed info on all routes, obstacles, terrain, and enemy forces
within a zone defined by boundaries
Area Recon
Directed effort to obtain detailed info on the terrain or enemy activity within a prescribed
area
Route Recon
Directed effort to obtain detailed info of a specified route and all terrain from which the
enemy could influence movement along that route
Reconnaissance in Force
Deliberate combat operation designed to discover or test the enemy's strength,
disposition, and reaction
Special Recon
R&S actions conducted as a special operation employing capabilities not normally found
in conventional forces
Reconnaissance Techniques
Push
Pull
Reconnaissance Push
Used when commanders have a relatively thorough understanding of the OE.
Commanders push reconnaissance assets into specific portions of their AO to confirm,
deny, and validate planning assumptions impacting operations (generally related to area
recon)
Reconnaissance Pull
Used when commanders are uncertain of the composition of enemy forces in the AO,
info concerning terrain is vague, and time is limited (recon assets work to develop the
enemy situation, generally related to zone recon)
